I cover the #Bucks for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I take my coffee intravenously & my Wu-Tang loud. Black lives matter. he/him/his

Dave shared more than a few stories about his beef with Bart. What a different time indeed.

Well, obviously there was no market in even the way there was one for Anthony/Coffey.

We were just talking about this in the press room the other day. Fun to see happen.

The heave/lob attempt was funny. Dieng appears to be a good fit. These next 21 games will be big for him & the team for sure.

The funny thing about the "44-game losing streak" by the league's worst teams is that the #Bucks and the #Pelicans aren't TRYING to lose.

Because unless he’s moving AJ Green out of the starting group for Andre Jackson Jr., there is no β€œbigger” way to go.

But he can’t stand Jackson.

So maybe … Kuzma at the 2?

Because he can’t possibly start Jericho Sims over Myles Turner…right?

Right?

So, the #Bucks are barely scoring 100 points a game the last week or so, but the lineup change Doc Rivers suggested was to β€œgo bigger” & sacrifice offense to improve defense.

This is because scheme changes haven’t worked.

I’m a little confused …

Antetokounmpo's night is over after about 26 minutes again. He scored 24 points, had five rebounds and four assists. #NBASky

With 4:20 to go, Giannis Antetokounmpo took the ball from Ryan Rollins and fired it at the base of the stanchion following another Hawks layup to go up 18 points.

Of course, he was hit with a technical foul.

05.03.2026 04:48 β€” πŸ‘ 11    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 5

Yeah.
Bucks down 11, and Ryan Rollins fouls a 3-point shooter.

Milwaukee has officially checked all their boxes tonight.

05.03.2026 04:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

All the starters are back in with 7 to go, but each of them are a minus for the #Bucks so unless a pretty big switch flips...

05.03.2026 04:37 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

So, Antetokounmpo does check in with Ryan Rollins to go with Jericho Sims, Bobby Portis and Cam Thomas.

05.03.2026 04:32 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

So, it's 104-97 and it appears Giannis Antetokounmpo is about to check back in with 9:23 to go. So, that's interesting. Because at 19 minutes...not sure he can go the entire 9:23 left in this.

05.03.2026 04:29 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Bucks trail 98-89 after the third quarter.

This team used to have some of that fight to come back from deficits but it doesn't feel like that's happening lately. Guess we'll see.

05.03.2026 04:19 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Even if Antetokounmpo and the starters are fired up in the fourth, that starting unit played little defense.

05.03.2026 04:17 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

All offensive momentum for the Bucks is gone, and a team that's trying very hard to win is taking advantage of all the flaws (fouls, lack of rebounding, turnovers).

05.03.2026 04:17 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

They get to double figures, so an improvement from the fourth quarter in Chicago.

05.03.2026 04:14 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

The #Bucks have scored 7 points this quarter.

05.03.2026 04:13 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

86-76 and we see where this is going.

05.03.2026 04:07 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

83-76.

Jericho Sims checks in for Antetokounmpo at the 5:55 mark. Bucks trail 81-76.

05.03.2026 04:06 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Bucks are 1-for-10 to start the quarter.

05.03.2026 04:04 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Hawks up 81-73. Could be a wrap by the end the quarter.

05.03.2026 04:03 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Ousmane Dieng up to three fouls with 8:07 to go in the third. Hawks now 7 of 10 from the free throw line. So, add that usual Bucks-iness to the other two...

05.03.2026 04:02 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Usual Bucks-iness. They're up to 7 turnovers, which Atlanta has scored 16 points off of. The Hawks also have nine second chance points off 7 offensive rebounds.

#Hawks lead 76-71 and this is happening in the "Giannis minutes."
